Vulnerability discussion

Application servers provide numerous processes, features, and functionalities that utilize TCP/IP ports. Some of these processes may be deemed to be unnecessary or too insecure to run on a production system. The application server must provide the capability to disable or deactivate network-related services that are deemed to be non-essential to the server mission, for example, disabling a protocol or feature that opens a listening port that is prohibited by DoD ports and protocols. For a list of approved ports and protocols reference the DoD ports and protocols web site at https://iase.disa.mil/ppsm/Pages/index.aspx.

Check content

1. Access EM 2. Select the domain from the navigation tree, and use the dropdown to select 'WebLogic Domain' -> 'Monitoring' -> 'Port Usage' 3. In the results table, ensure values in the 'Port in Use' column match approved ports 4. In the results table, ensure values in the 'Protocol' column match approved protocols If any ports listed in the 'Port in Use' column is an unauthorized port or any protocols listed in the 'Protocol' column is an unauthorized protocol, this is a finding.

Fix text

1. Access AC 2. To change port or protocol values, from 'Domain Structure', select 'Environment' -> 'Servers' 3. From the list of servers, select one which needs modification 4. Utilize 'Change Center' to create a new change session 5. To modify port assignment, from 'Configuration' tab -> 'General' tab, reassign the port for this server by changing the 'SSL Listen Port' field and click 'Save' 6. To modify protocol configuration, select 'Protocols' tab 7. Use the subtabs 'HTTP', 'jCOM' and 'IIOP' to configure these protocols 8. Use the 'Channels' subtab to create/modify channels which configure other protocols 9. Repeat steps 3-8 for all servers requiring modification 10. Review the 'Port Usage' table in EM again to ensure port has been reassigned

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
